he is a scholar of lincoln. he reads everything he can on him and he think the second inaugural of lincoln is one of the great documents over time. it's been quoted over time, with malice towards none speech. the fact that we'll have a lincoln bible there today and it's the 150th of the emancipation proclamation is something he's interested in. >> we heard he's frustrated over washington right now. we hear that republicans say he doesn't like us. and did you find him frustrated? did you find him eager? how would you find his state of mind? >> very eager to move forward and not fall into this second curse, you know, of a second term. i mean, he's got to -- recognizes in history, in second terms he recognizes people did great thing. bill clinton would not be a great bill clinton if he hadn't done the budget surplus at that term. and diplomacy for reagan's term. and maybe he'll do something in a climate change. something you could not have touched in the first term. he tried a few times. but i think that's somethin

but to president lincoln, and have finished dome symbolize that divided nation. lincoln said of people see the capital going on, it is a sign we, the union, shall go on. and so, despite the conflict that engulfed the nation and surrounded the city, the dome continues to rise. on december 2, 1863, the statute of of woman was placed atop the dome where she still stands today. in sublime irony, it was a former snake -- former slave who helped passed the bronze statue. our present times are not as perilous or despairing as the were in 1863, but in 2013, far too many doubted the future of this great nation and our ability to tackle our own and have finished domes. today's problems are intractable, they say. the times are so complex. the differences in the country and the world so deep, we will never overcome them. with thoughts like these produce anxiety, fear, and even despair, we would do well to remember that americans have always been, and still are, a practical, optimistic, problem-solving people, and our history shows, no matter how steep the climb, how difficul

i that you three lincoln speeches in there. the house divided speech. no nation founded on principles of liberty can survive half slave, half free. and of and by and for the people. the interesting one was the president's 1862 famous message to the congress as our case is new, so must we think and act anew. and this was theme was applied during the speech. mostly a laundry list what he wanted to achieve in the next term and very little of it devoted to jobs, economy, deficit, debt spending and things that people are most concerned about. he devoted far more to equal pay, gay marriage, voting rights protection, immigration reform, gun control and certainly climate change than he did to any references to the big economic issues that the come tri combines. it struck me as a little odd, on this day fewer americans are working than when president obama took office four years ago and at the current pace of job creation it will take us 26 more months to get back just to the point of number of people working when we went into the recession in december of 2007 a

lincoln's terribly famous one in 1865 just 700 words. is shorter better the second time around? >> i think typically less is more with these kinds of speeches, but it's hard. you have a president who has been re-elected who knows this will be the last time he or she will ever do this, and they typically have something on their minds they want to say and they figure they're going to take the moment to do it, but by and large they're all better served if they can keep these things shorter rather than longer. >> don, did you write a short one for clinton's second inaugural? >> president clinton's second inaugural was longer than his first. it didn't stretch on and on, but i think we would have liked -- >> was that his fault or your fault? >> no comment, no comment. we would have liked to have been able to have another day for another edit, but it was a good speech, and, again, you know, they have something to say. president clinton in that case was talking about the 21st century and the millennium that we were moving towards and how he wanted america to come back together. he invok
